Can you lay down some criteria?

Basically they has to be purely human. No fancy armor getups, or magic rings. I'm looking for people who rely on physical and mental skills available to a normal, real world human being. Cyborgs are out as well. I don't care where you find them though. Movies, cartoons, anime are all acceptable mediums.

FewFew

So if they have magical/hi-tech weapons that's ok?

I would judge them on a case by case basis there. Han Solo with his blaster, yes. Han with the Millenium Falcon, no. Luke Skywalker, not happening.

Maguined

I demand Jayne Cobb the hero of Canton.

... with Vera, he can't lose!

cyberwolf77

Excellent suggestion Maguined. He be in.

RolandIRL

Roland Deschain (Dark Tower series) with his guns of course
Teela Brown (from the Ringworld books) - extremely lucky

i'll think of some more, i'm sure.

mrmac

Sam Fisher - Splinter Cell
Alice - Resident Evil

mrmac

Princess Leiya??

Elektra
The Bride - aka Uma Thurman - Kill Bill
Sláine - 2000AD comic

cyberwolf77

Roland and Sam qualify. Alice and Teela however are questionable. Teela has a demonstrated psionic ability and Alice is more than likely metahuman.

cyberwolf77

mrmac wrote: »

Princess Leia??

Jedi, so no.

Elektra

Known psionic abilities apparently

The Bride - aka Uma Thurman - Kill Bill

Oh, hell yeah!

Sláine - 2000AD comic

Warp spasm power disqualifies him.

mrmac

John Connor - Terminator.

No Slaine!
/damn, knows way too much about 2000AD!

edit: Ripley - Alien movies.

cyberwolf77

I like John for this one as his mother was in the Humanitas tournament.
I will also allow Ripley provide it is understood she will be taken from a time before she acquired Xenomorph traits.(Pre-Resurection)

Maguined

I can't believe no one has yet to mention James Tiberius Kirk?

mrmac

John McClaine (sp) - Die Hard.
Dutch - aka Arnold Schwart-dude - Predator.

mrmac

Just having a coffee, and a few more have sprung to mind!

Rocky Balboa
Indiana Jones
Zoro
Maximus Dec 'da' mus Meridius (sp) - Gladiator
King Leonidas - bad ass Spartan!

Speaking of bad ass Spartans, what about Master Chief John-117?

Going to start the supper, and think of some more "role-models".

How about Buffy and Cap America? They're human technically. :pac:

mrmac

Thought of some more!

Gordon Freeman - Half-life.
Aragorn - LOTR.
Altar or Altair (sp?) - Assassins Creed.
Rikimaru & (sigh) Aiyame (sp?) - Tenchu stealth assassins.
Bad A$$ slice & dicer from Ninja Gaiden, just can't think of his name???
Daniel Craig - 007
Mr. Blonde - Reservoir Dogs
Hannibal Lecter - Mr. "Chianti".
Corleone - Godfather.
Lex Luthor - Superman
Harry Mason - Original Silent Hill game (fan-freaky-tastic!)

That's it for now.
Trying to think of more butt kicking ladies!

edit: what about F.D. Roosevelt?
Responsible for 100K deaths at Horoshima!
Or Adolf Hitler, sent millions to their death.

Delirium

Shang Chi.



Totally human, has had battles with Thing from Fantastic Four as well as Spiderman. He'd easily be one of the best human fighters in the marvel universe.


EDIT: also Nomad from captain America comics, was thinking of the Edward Ferbel version.

Delirium

Conan?

RolandIRL

master chief is kinda out of it. he's a bit cybernetic and has had physical augments as well.

Ryu Hayubusa is the one you're thinking of from ninja gaiden.

Lara Croft? she's got great...eh...guns

Galvasean

mrmac wrote: »

Alice - Resident Evil

I think she's genetically engineered. Plus she's got psychic powers.

Delirium

Batroc



TaskMaster

EDIT: and what about Riddick from the pitch black movie?

Buffy is demon-powered, and Cap started a bit too much trouble during the last humans only tournament

Excellent suggestions koth.

Otis Driftwood

Seeing as there are no kung fu heros on the list I give you,


Bruce Lee,nuff said.


Sonny Chiba AKA The Streetfighter,Bruce Lee's more bad ass cousin.


Ogami Itto,legendary swordsman from the Lone Wolf and Cub Series.


Pei Mei,best known from Kill Bill but the charector has appeared in countless kung fu movies.

reallyrose

I have no idea what this Tournament or thread is about. How about an explanation of the rules for the bewildered?

I try to avoid using real people alive or dead. I will take the Lone Wolf though

here's my first attempt:

and my second effort:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055954685

Take a look at those and then stop back and ask any questions you wish.

RolandIRL

Scott Pilgrim.
Ryu Hayabusa (sp?)
Rachel from the same series (though i think she has a blood curse giving her a bit of extra strength)

cyberwolf77

Hey if Scott Pilgrim can face down the league of Evil Exes he should fit in well here

Delirium

Diamondback (Rachel Leighton version)




Batgirl (Cassandra Cain)



Boomslang



Fer-de-Lance

EDIT: and possibly the assassin from Assassins Creed?

reallyrose

Oki, I think I get it. Do you match the characters up randomly using a RNG or whatever?

Also, do you think it might be a good idea to post the two contenders for a round in two seperate posts and allow the people playing to 'thank' the post as a vote? I just thought it looked messy to have lots of "I vote for x" posts that someone (yourself) has to trek through.
I haven't played it before though, so it might not work for various reasons.

It looks fun, if you are into comics enough to understand who all the characters are.

Orim

Ryu/Chun Li/Guile - Hell put in all the street fighter characters and decide it by playing street fighter :pac:

Blondie - Clint Eastwoods character from the Dollars trilogy

Deadpool

Rogue Trooper - Probably won't be eligible but he's so awesome

Bane - No venom obviously

cyberwolf77

yeah, I just pull names out of a hat to determine matches

See, I actually enjoy wading through all the "I vote for x, because", posts. Fewcifur, koth, and several other folks have produced some epic replies to why they think they have the various battles figured properly.

haha, fair enough.
I guess I always have an eye for the super efficient way to do things.

Deadpool has Wolverine-type healing factor. Without he be dead. I may use a Street Fighter though.

I do ask people to give a reason as well. Otherwise all the bat-fanbois would just sweep him straight through.

I had thought about Rogue Trooper, but his ability is added to by the "chips" of his fallen colleges, so he's a bit of a team entry?
A damn fine soldier though! :cool:

edit: just back from college, so I'll try to come up with some more, over a coffee.

cyberwolf77

I am amazed no one has mentioned Batman yet.

mrmac

What about:

Dexter - TV Show
Mr. Brooks - Movie
Rutger Hauer - as The Hitcher, as Roy Batty in Blade Runner
Daryl Hannah - as Pris in Blade Runner
Mai Linh - a$$ kicking, beauty, from Die Hard 3 or 4?

Cannot for the life of me remember the name of the female character from "24" season 1.
Remember, it turned out to be "her" fault he was in sooo much poo!
One evil, evil, smart, devious, (did I say evil) piece of work!

I'll be back!

Oooh, I like the way you think.

mrmac

Another female:

Irina (something) - weird sword-fighting woman from Indiana / Crystal Skull movie (strangely attractive!).

Xena - how could you miss Xena!

cyberwolf77

Big thumbs up for Xena from me. I may also use the King of Thieves as well, Autolycus.

mrmac

For consideration, although I cannot remember their characters names!

Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct.
Jasons Ma in Friday The 13th.
Evil Psycho Woman in the Saw movies.
Daryl Hannah again, in Kill Bill (including the hot eye patch!).

That's it for now, gotta go collect the kids.

How many do you have now?

cyberwolf77

Close to a hundred viable competitors.
